Milei Pleads for Patience as Growth Slows and Approval Falls

President Javier Milei asked Argentines to be patient with the country’s economic turnaround, employing a rare tone of humility amid declining poll numbers and a worsening outlook for blue-collar industries.

In a lengthy X post Thursday, the libertarian lashed out at the media for exaggerating the economy’s problems and his top political rivals, or “irresponsible psychopaths,” for trying to destabilize markets ahead of last year’s midterm elections. But Milei also reiterated a request he made in his inauguration speech over two years ago.
